Fire Ritual
Anytime is the perfect time to participate in a transformative fire ritual of your own. During this burning ritual, fire and smoke symbolizes knowledge and purification. It helps to cleanse your mind, body and energetic field allowing you to redirect your focus on what truly matters.
Set aside about 30 minutes to complete this ritual. First, burn sage (masculine) or palo santo (feminine) or incense, light a candle and ask for the space around you and your mind to be cleansed and purified. Get into a comfortable seated position and begin to breathe deeply. Quiet your mind, and drop your awareness from your mind into your heart. Allow your mind to travel from your head down to your heart space. Then, gradually return to your breathing, and when you are ready, open your eyes.
A perfect prayer for the occasion:
Only the highest vibrations of Love can be in the space. Those not of the highest good must leave now. We call in all who would like to join us in the highest good for all. All of the highest level of the divine angels, teachers, guides and beings of love. We ask for knowledge, wisdom, guidance, direction and truth. Let this information come through the truth of Christ consciousness and Mother Mary.
Step 1: Create and Prepare Your Ceremony Space
The first thing you want to do in preparation for your ceremony is to find a sacred space. An outdoor space is preferred under the moon and stars by a fire pit, metal pot, or fire proof bowl. Select a space where you feel comfortable. Pen and paper are your other supplies you will need.
Step 2: Balance Your Space
You want to find a balance that works for you. The goal is to feel grounded and calm. Collect things that offer you comfort and guidance. A rock or a crystal may help as a reminder in your healing process and spiritual new beginning:
Step 3: Write Down What You Want to Release
On pieces of paper, write down the things you want to let go of. This can be a situation, person, or places that have a negative charge to you. Other areas to look or consider are things that are out of your control, things that cause fear, anger or suffering. You should feel an emotional charge as soon as the pen hits the paper. You can go into detail about the items you are relinquishing or just list a word or two. Everyone has a different way of doing this. These words represent the wounds, unhealthy patterns, unhealthy people, and negativity that you’re getting rid of out of your mind, body and energetic field.
Step 4: Take a Deep Breath and Prepare Your Mind
Read through each word or description one last time. Empty your mind and open your heart. Let the emotions flow as you prepare to release them.
Step 5: Ignite Each Paper One by One
Using a lighter, candle, or open flame, light the corner of each paper one at a time and drop it into a fire proof bowl, pot or fire pit. As you set each paper on fire, say aloud “I choose to release you now.” Imagine that the smoke is carrying your unwanted thoughts releasing you of them.
Step 6: Close Your Eyes and Reflect
After all papers and thoughts have been burned, close your eyes for a moment. Focus on what you have learned and accept closure as your past is cleansed. You’re now ready to start allowing new positive and fulfilling experiences into your life without being affected by past negativity. You are ready to start with clear intentions and endless possibilities.
Step 7: Closing Prayer
To conclude your ceremony, offer a prayer. Many thanks to all those who have joined us and all the lessons learned. A special thanks to the highest vibrations of Love and truth. Your energy stays with you and my energy stays with me.
